ear friends of the Corcovado National Park
I hope that you are feeling well and staying safe.
Corcovado National Park is a haven of incredible biodiversity, wonderful ecosystems, and complex bio relationships that exist in very few places in the world.
Corcovado National park is also the heartbeat of the local economy. With Corcovado closed, tourism in the area was not going to happen. To open the park, we needed to help them install proper sanitation kits for the park entrances in order to meet new hygiene standards. Thanks to you, we raised enough money to help the park open its gates to tourism again.
Also, we could enable their communication system by paying for satellite cellphone access because of your support. Satelite cellphone is the only way the park rangers can communicate from ranger stations in Los Patos and Sirena. Thanks to this contribution, they have been able to report illegal activities and prosecute them.
The park is always in need, especially now that the Costa Rican government struggles with its debt and managing its budget. The economic situation caused by the pandemic and the government's inefficiency directly impact the conservation of Corcovado National Park. Please consider maintaining your support to Corcovado National park. They need you as more than ever.
Please find a thank you note from the park administrator Stephany to you, our hero!
